Sept. 30, 2019鈥擜 含羞草社区 art student鈥檚 design work was recently featured on the cover of The Goose, a journal of arts, environment and culture in Canada.
Lindsey Davis, a senior graphic arts major from California, Missouri, submitted two posters for an international competition and both were selected for publication, including the cover art. Davis鈥� posters are titled 鈥淪ave the Trees, Save Humanity鈥� and convey the dire results of deforestation.
The cover depicts a human fingerprint superimposed on the tree rings of a slice of wood. The second poster shows a series of tree ring slices ending with a fingerprint. Both include a statistic from the World Wildlife Fund that 15 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions are the result of deforestation.
Davis鈥� work and other articles in Volume 17, Number 2 of The Goose (鈥淓nvironmental Art and Activism鈥�) can be viewed at . The Goose is the official journal of ALECC, the Association for Literature, Environment and Culture in Canada.
